TO ALL WHOH IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, Gxonox A. Summe, of Reading, in the county of Berks, in the Stute of Pennsylvania, halve invented c new and useful Improvement inv Weighing- Seele Booms, to he attached to counter-'seules auf! I do herlahyv declare thtt the following is a full, clear, and exact description o f 'the construction nd operutior of the suine, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making u pnrtzof this specification, in which- Figurell is n percpectiv View of the calculating-colo beam.

Eigure 2, e surf'oee'viaw o f the' 'scale-beam.

Figure 8, u viow'of the.,heu1n.

The nature of my invention consists in making n calculitingscale-hcom with n slide ns a weight `from onchundredthpart ofi-pound, on; which the price, from ten conta to one dollar, is arranged, corresponding with lines ou the cylinder, enddeelgnoting, us it is nui-ved slung, my amount, from one cents worth to one pound, ot any price on' said nlide. The nxtecn-eent line, as marked on the slide, .I have divided into fractions ,of an ounce, so the scale, if used independcnt of the prices, will give the fractional ports of a pounglrmd mame, also' telling what such fractionsl part amounts to in-mney, ntnny price on anidligle.

' To enable others skilled in the art'stp-mslre-nnd'usjf; Whmll proceed to describe its construction und operation., v

I construct my cnlculstn'gbenm nid sle is shown in 6g. l. In the construction, I take o metallic plate of the dimensions required, rat provided with u vsteel die, when the impression is tn'hen at one stamp ofthe die. Thcplnte ile-then bent'in' n mnohiue nud fixed upon the cylinder A, es 4represented by dran-ing. The slide B is then put on, and the clips E ut each end, which maken the cylindercomplete. It is'then slipped on the beam,

' on whiehlit reiolves, and nttsch'od to any counter-soule.

What I claim as my improvcmcntLnn'd desire .to 'secure hy Lettera Potent, 1s The 'arrangement and combination of tho'nlidc D, looping around tho whole beam, marked und notched as represented in iig. 1 und 6g. 2r, togdther with tho shnpo of the slide, and the ounce-line, marked sixteen onv slide, showing the fractional parte 0l' a pound und an ounce on the beam, und the amount in money GEO.
